A sediment trap is a device that is installed in the gas line leading to your gas water heater. It is designed to trap sediment and debris before it can enter the water heater and cause damage.
Sediment can build up in gas lines over time for a variety of reasons, including:
If sediment is allowed to enter your gas water heater, it can clog the burner assembly, reduce the efficiency of the water heater, and even cause premature failure.
A sediment trap helps to prevent this by trapping the sediment in a reservoir at the bottom of the trap. This reservoir can then be drained periodically to remove the sediment.
Sediment traps are required by most building codes for all gas water heaters. They are a relatively inexpensive and low-maintenance way to protect your water heater and extend its lifespan.
Here are some of the benefits of having a sediment trap on your gas water heater:
If you do not have a sediment trap on your gas water heater, it is a good idea to have one installed by a qualified plumber. It is also a good idea to drain the sediment trap periodically to remove any sediment that has accumulated.
